A sentimental object is one that has value, not in monetary worth, but in memories. “Young Man’s Folly” by Michalicka, is a short story which employs the device of symbolism to express ideas of a nostalgic nature. A quilt which is lovingly stitched by the narrator’s mother is an object which reveals significant meaning for the young boy, and for readers in terms of human nature. This symbolism is developed in the process of the narrator coming to terms with his parents’ divorce.

The narrator is left with an empty feeling when his father decides to “find himself” and leave his marriage and son behind. To counter the sorrow he feels in his father’s absence, the boy wears his father’s suit jackets to remind himself of his father’s “smell” and to feel as if he is being held in “his [father’s] arms” again. This is symbolic of the attention and security he no longer feels since his father’s estrangement.

The young man “blam[es]” his mother when he discovers that his father’s closet has been “cleared out” of the “masculine colour[ed]” shirts. What he does not realize, is that his mother is using the fabric from the shirts for a “quilting project” made by “her hands” in a “traditional” and subsequently, symbolic design.

In his “folly”, the boy has not understood that his father will remain absent from his life. His mother designs the quilt from “the finely woven cottons” of her husband’s dress shirts so that he will “always [feel] surrounded by love” when he uses the quilt. The quilt represents the love of his father and mother in one object. The “months of work” his mother devotes to the blanket shows her love and understanding of her son. His quilt will be a sentimental reminder of his family as it once was. A sentimental object is one that has value, not in monetary worth, but in memories.
